Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Choose Carefully

Choose carefully

You can grab a moment
And make it worthwhile
If you wear a beautiful smile
Holding on to graceful style.

If you slow down the time
Recognizing scent of vibes
Love won't be far behind
Cherishing eager desires.

When you intently pause
Hearing a celestial voice
Listen to its amorous message
Leading you to paradise.

Soon you will arrive there
Where dreams filled with joy
Rise above towering high
Inviting you to rejoice life.

But you must choose carefully
Between ephemeral and enduring
For one may be instant pleasure
And the other everlasting.
